Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and a number of podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive healthcare education with an attention to on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to handle conditions stretching from conventional conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous problems which the feet frequently encounter.
